Kenmore Refrigerator Repair – Clinton, OH (106.64262400)

A Kenmore refrigerator in Clinton, OH was leaking water in the fridge compartment. We found a plugged defrost drain causing the backup and installed a probe on the heater to prevent future occurrences.

The Problem

The customer reported leaking water in the fridge compartment. This type of leak typically indicates drainage issues within the refrigeration system.

Diagnosis

We found the defrost drain was plugged, preventing proper water drainage during the defrost cycle. This blockage caused water to back up and leak into the refrigerator compartment instead of draining properly.

The Repair

• Parts replaced: 819043-HEAT-PROBE — heat probe
• Work performed: Cleared the plugged defrost drain and installed a probe on the heater
• Result: Water now drains properly with added protection against future blockages

Is It Worth Repairing?

This Kenmore model is a solid side-by-side refrigerator that responds well to maintenance repairs. Defrost drain issues are common but easily resolved, and with the added heat probe, this unit should provide years of reliable service. Refrigerator repairs like this are typically very cost-effective compared to replacement.

Maintenance Tips for Kenmore Refrigerators

• Clean the defrost drain annually by flushing with warm water to prevent blockages
• Check door seals regularly on side-by-side models as they work harder than other configurations
• Keep condenser coils clean on Kenmore units — they’re typically located on the back or bottom
